2014 - a year of quilts!

At the start of 2014 I would never have believed I would make quite so many quilts as I did - after all, before last year I had only ever finished one! I won't say too much about them here - instead I'll pop in links to where I've blogged about them before - but I thought it would be nice to see them all in one place. So, here goes: Mum's Nana quilt Bed sized, finished in April, quilted by Raylee at Sunflower Quilting , blogged Finding Formation: Synchronized Swimming Approx 60" square, made in July to test Nightingale Quilts' pattern ' Finding Formation ', quilted by me, hung in the Canberra Quilters' Exhibition, blogged Happy Herringbone Approx 60"x64", made in August from Maureen Cracknell's free QAYG herringbone tutorial and several Kate Spain fabric ranges, quilted by me, hung in the Canberra Quilters' exhibition, blogged Elephants' Picnic Approx 60" square,made in September - in about

Hyphen cardi

To me, March means knitting. I'm not entirely sure why - it isn't really cold enough for woollens, but maybe it's wishful thinking, longing for an end to the hot summer weather (this year summer feels like it is stretching waaaaaaay out!) A few people I know are having winter babies this year, so I wanted to knit up some tiny bits for them (knitting for a four year old takes so long now haha). I came across the Hyphen cardigan by Frogginette and fell in love with the textured yoke. I've knitted it up in the smallest size (3 months) on 5mm needles and in Lincrafts own brand of baby wool (merino 8ply), which is deliciously squishy and I want to use again and again. This has come up a bit bigger than I expected - probably more suited to a 6 month old - but I just love it so much. It just needs buttons now =) I'm pretty keen to try this in a bigger size for Miss A (now 4 years old).... Maybe even a matching one for me? Xo Bron

My creative space

This is my most creativest space today: Yup. My chestage. See, we went for our regular Thursday lunch - a super quick one today since I had a meeting at work immediately afterwards. In my haste (or maybe just because I'm a bit of a slob ;o)) I managed to spill some of my noodles on myself! eeeeek! A bit of quick creative thinking, and a loan of this gorgeous brooch (by Betty Jo Designs , FYI) from my generous friend, and no-one at work was any the wiser! xo as always, more creative spaces at Kootoyoo !
